This study aimed to describe the malaria situation, epidemiology and treatment services in ESS during 2000-2016. Data from township malaria monthly reports in ESS during 2000-2016 were analyzed by time, place, person, species and treatment services. Malaria morbidity, mortality and case-fatality rate decreased from 25.0 to 3.7 per 1,000 population, 15.0 to 0.2 per 100,000 population and 4.6% to 1.3%, respectively, during 2000-2016. The male to female ratio was 3:2 and those over 15 years old constituted 60% of all cases. The number of cases declined by 88% and 99% among those younger than 5 years of age and pregnant women, respectively. During 2011-2016, the case detection rate increased from 2% to 12%, and 94% of blood examinations used a rapid diagnostic test. Plasmodium vivax (63%) was the most prevalent parasite species, followed by Plasmodium falciparum (33%) while mixed parasites accounted for 4% of all infections. Non-government-controlled areas contributed more than 80% of cases between 2013 and 2016. Remarkable reductions in malaria morbidity and mortality in ESS followed improvements in early detection, appropriate treatment and effective vector control. However, the overwhelming contribution on caseload in non-government-controlled areas remain a challenge for the elimination of malaria in Myanmar. Keywords: malaria, morbidity, mortality, annual blood examination rate, Eastern Shan State, Myanmar Introduction incidence of malaria to less than one case per 1,000 population in all states/regions by 2020 by scaling up In 2015, there were an estimated 212 million cases of malaria control interventions.2 malaria and 429,000 malaria-related deaths globally. Eastern Shan State (ESS) is situated in the most In the South-East Asia Region, about 1.4 billion eastern part of Myanmar and consists of ten people were at risk of malaria, with 237 million at townships, eight sub-townships, 71 wards, 147 village high risk in 2015.1 Malaria in Myanmar contributed tracts and 2,063 villages with a population of approximately two-thirds of both morbidity and approximately 800,000. According to area micro- mortality in the Greater Mekong Subregion during stratification of ESS in 2015, about 53% and 28% of 2013.1 As a result, the National Malaria Control the population lived in malaria risk areas and Programme (NMCP) was developed in coordination with both international and local agencies, including probable risk areas, respectively. Because of the high the World Health Organization to reduce the proportion of the population at risk of infection, 84 OSIR, September 2019, Volume 12, Issue 3, p.84-92 community-based malaria control interventions were reported malaria cases: outpatients (OP): those who developed and have been implemented since 2007 in had uncomplicated malaria, and inpatients (IP): those ESS to increase accessibility of quality diagnosis and who had severe malaria, were hospitalized and had a effective treatment, especially in remote areas.3 For high risk of death.4 example, microscopy has been used for malaria The OP malaria case definition varied from year to diagnosis in health centers where microscopes are year depending on the type of blood test performed. available and malaria rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) In the past, the NMCP diagnosed patients with have been used in all healthcare settings ranging positive blood films as “confirmed malaria cases” and from health centers to the community level. The basic “clinically suspected cases” based on clinical reporting units are village health volunteers (VHVs) symptoms. In 2006, the NMCP introduced, to some and basic health staffs. All examined cases are health centers, RDT which could detect only P. recorded in carbonless case registers and reported falciparum species. Since 2011, the NMCP has been monthly.4 distributing (through the State VBDC) bivalent RDTs, Eastern Shan State has experienced many malaria which can diagnose P. falciparum and P. vivax epidemics. One major epidemic occurred during 2001 malaria and, therefore, all malaria cases were in which an estimated 10,000 persons were affected regarded as confirmed cases.4 with 1,066 reported deaths in 23 villages.3 In addition, because ESS contains many so called "special Data Analysis regions" (politically unstable areas), non-government We analyzed data between 2000 and 2016 for controlled areas, and extremely hard-to-reach areas, morbidity and mortality rates, OP and IP malaria it is classified as a high risk malaria area.3,5 cases and deaths by time and township. We also Consequently, the extent of malaria and treatment described the distribution of cases by type of service service coverage is largely unknown. The objective of (i.e. health facility, village health volunteer and this study was to describe the malaria epidemiology NGO/INGO), gender age and species from 2011-2016 and coverage of treatment services in ESS during because data prior to this period were not available. 2000-2016 in the presence of malaria intervention We calculated the annual blood examination rate activities.

Methods Descriptive statistics including frequency, rates and We conducted a descriptive study on malaria in ESS proportions were computed. We calculated malaria during 2000-2016. morbidity rates per 1,000 and malaria mortality rates Data Sources and Data Collection per 100,000. We calculated ABER from the number of patients examined by microscopy or RDT per 100 We reviewed aggregated data on malaria cases and population and API rate per 1,000 population at-risk.6 deaths during 2000 – 2016 from the Vector Borne Disease Control (VBDC) programme at the state level. Results The data included monthly reports, carbonless Malaria Morbidity and Mortality Rates, 2000-2016 registers from townships, State VBDC annual reports Figure 1 shows the trends of malaria morbidity (per and reports from international non-governmental 1,000 population) and mortality rates (per 100,000 organizations (INGOs) and non-governmental population) in Eastern Shan State between 2000 and organizations (NGOs). However, malaria data of time, 2016. The morbidity and mortality rates gradually place, person and type of species were not available declined between 2000 and 2009 and then remained before 2011. Data on case detection and management fairly steady over the next 7 years. In 2000, the by type of service are available only after 2012. malaria morbidity rate was 25 per 1,000 and the Operational Definition mortality rate was 15 per 100,000 population. In 2016, the malaria morbidity rate was 3.7 per 1,000 and the A confirmed malaria case was defined as a patient mortality rate was 0.2 per 100,000. The highest whose blood film was positive by microscopy or rapid morbidity rate (29.4/1,000) and mortality rate diagnostic test (RDT).

Millions of people depend on it for agriculture and fishing, and accordingly it holds a special cultural significance. For 234 kilometers, the Mekong forms the border between Burma’s Shan State and Luang Nam Tha and Bokeo provinces of Laos. This stretch includes the infamous “Golden Triangle”, or where Burma, Laos and Thailand meet, which has been known for illicit drug production. Over 22,000 primarily indigenous peoples live in the mountainous region of this isolated stretch of the river in Burma. The main ethnic groups are Akha, Shan, Lahu, Sam Tao (Loi La), Chinese, and En. The Mekong River has a special significance for the Lahu people. Like the Chinese, we call it the Lancang, and according to legends, the first Lahu people came from the river’s source. Traditional songs and sayings are filled with references to the river. True love is described as stretching form the source of the Mekong to the sea. The beauty of a woman is likened to the glittering scales of a fish in the Mekong.
